Released on streaming platforms on November 4, the single sees Summers and Moophs combining dancehall with pop and Latin music to create what the drag queen describes as a “dance anthem that the queer community can claim as theirs”.

In a statement shared with NME, Summers explained: “This track is very inspired by heavenly bodies and how almost all people worship them. And as a queer person living in a Catholic/Christian country, it’s the other way around. The LGBTQ+ community has always been condoned and deemed to be “sinners” for just being queer alone.”

“‘Divine’ speaks about taking ownership and power of your body and individuality,” Summers concluded.
